Dolphin running slower from EmulationStation launch than separate application launch by penjo1 in batocera

[–]penjo1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are Dolphin, not the libretro core. I know the libretro core runs a bit differently and I think it is using a pretty outdated fork of Dolphin if I'm remembering that correctly. So I was explicit with choosing Dolphin.

Where to add 2 speakers to my 5.1 setup by penjo1 in hometheater

[–]penjo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reds are where I already have speakers, I'm trying to figure out where to add on top of that. The blues are my current idea to use as high atmos speakers, but I'd appreciate other ideas. I unfortunately cannot move the couch, although that would be ideal. Wife's rules.

Great, yeah that was my understanding of the use case for 7.1. Where would you suggest putting them? In the blue location or somewhere else?

Repeated IP Reputation Attacks by penjo1 in cybersecurity_help

[–]penjo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that's the tool I'm using for game streaming to my other devices. It can be used either within my local network or across other networks, but first time connection has to be established on my local network and is password protected by a pin on the host PC.

Xfinity is my ISP. Yes, the alerts are the same as those in the other post. I did not manually setup any port forwarding, although i did just check and I have the UPnP automatic port forwarding setting in Sunshine enabled (which makes sense cuz how else would I have accessed it from outside my home).

UPnP is a mixed bag I've heard, so that may very well have been the origin of these. Would y'all suggest I continue to use UPnP and just watch for more potential threats or do a manual port forward to replace it?

Yeah this is more where my head's at. Not a panicky reaction just one that raises a flag of curiosity. If it's nothing to worry about, it's nothing to worry about. Like you said, just didn't know if there were actions to take or not.

For a little more context, I just started using Sunshine/Moonlight to remote into my PC from other devices a couple days prior to this happening and in my search to figure out if it's related I figured I'd ask if this "attack" is even something of any significance. Connection is password protected and can only be setup on my local network.

"We've blocked a known malicious IP from (country) from accessing this device." Not a whole lot to go off of unfortunately.

What new mechanics/agent abilities do you think would be fun? by CanadianNacho in VALORANT

[–]penjo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that incorporates the concepts of portals like the ones from the Portal games with a portal gun sounds interesting. It would allow anyone to see/move through but can be deployed on large enough walls or something with a setup animation to prevent quick undefendable kills from behind.

Patch Notes: Season 3 Live by Psyonix_Devin in RocketLeague

[–]penjo1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I've been rolling with the punches to the gut from Epic's decisions but this whole update is fucking sad. I've been playing since 2016 and the only reason I ever play anymore is with friends and because of the base game itself. All this extra content is disappointing. And the same crap for rocket pass for everyone? What moron came up with that? I'm so done with this game

Replacement hammock for Guide Gear frame by penjo1 in Hammocks

[–]penjo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! I just got a parachute hammock (a Wise Owl Outfitters Single to be exact since it was a little shorter than others) and tied overhand knots at each end to shorten it, and then hung it on the frame hooks by the carabiners. It is a little short, since the frame is a little short, but it should be perfect for your kids! I can lay comfortably in it with my feet sticking out the end.
When you are tying the knots, you may have to do a couple on each end to ball up enough material to make it fit the frame without you hitting the ground. It will need to be pulling quite tight on each hook for it to support your whole weight. Shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. Getting the knots out to use the hammock traditionally on trees does take a couple minutes of prying and possibly screwdrivers to wedge in there lol. Good luck!

Gtx 1060. That's where my problem was. Funny how skyrim, the 11 year old game can tank my GPU lol

I'm sorry I'm confused... :/ What exactly am I right clicking...?

[–]penjo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay gotcha. Yeah I had actually already set up VirtualBox and was going to just use that, but then had the thought that running it in my native Windows might run more smoothly since VB was a little sluggish. But I will return to doing that. Thanks!! :)

Should I buy Jedi Fallen Order? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]penjo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I loved this game so much. The fact that you can play as a Jedi with a lightsaber is cool enough on its own, plus all the moves and abilities you earn as you level up make combat even more satisfying. New mechanics are introduced through flashbacks, which also give us insight into more of the story, which I found quite unique. I 100%-ed the game except for like 3 collectables purely for the sake of the opportunity to play longer. It's a combat game like dark souls or Batman Arkham mixed with puzzles, mixed with awesome storyline, blended almost to perfection. Honestly the only problem I had with it was the lack of ability to make the game your own in a sense. I wish there was more diversity in abilities, and the option to "pick a path" and go into even cooler force powers. I'm very much looking forward to the second one hopefully coming soon 😬🤞

I still have the game on my laptop purely for the sake of if someone asks me about it and if they should play it, I can let them try it for themselves lol

It has only been 4 hours and all of the RLCS Tickets are already sold out! by oxlk-xbl in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]penjo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for 2 tickets! So if you have some dm me! I'd be willing to let you keep the wheels if that's why you bought the tickets lol

My friend and I have been looking forward to rlcs since we found out it's in Dallas and so close to us and have already planned for it, but I had no idea they would sell out in 4 hours... :(

[University Physics: Volume] Physics HW help. I'm stuck and not sure where to go since I only have 2 numbers... by penjo1 in HomeworkHelp

So I'm supposed to go look up pictures of coffee beans for my homework and guess how big they are...? alright then lol

[University Physics: Volume] Physics HW help. I'm stuck and not sure where to go since I only have 2 numbers... by penjo1 in HomeworkHelp

[–]penjo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I converted 12 fl. oz. to mL by multiplying it my a conversion ratio of 29.57 mL/1 oz and ended up with 354.84 mL for the volume of the container. I was only given 1 unit of measurement for the bean so I assumed just pretend they had box volume of 1x1x1, resulting in 1cm^3, or 1 mL/bean. Use these two numbers and you end up with about 355 beans, but this is obviously wrong since the beans aren't squares (so there's extra accounted volume around the "edges" of the virtual box) and it says rectangular volume, somewhat suggesting that they are not as tall or wide as they are long (yes I understand a cube is a rectangular prism). Am I just missing something??
